Tennis, travel, music, and everything that fuels the work.
Tennis is where I go when everything else gets loud. The moment I step onto a court, the noise of the world dims. It's just me, the ball, and the next decision. That's not something I take for granted.
There's a particular kind of peace in the routine — the bounce before a serve, the way your feet find their position without thinking. The court doesn't care about your deadlines or your to-do list. It demands your full presence, and that's exactly why I love it.
Tennis is my reset button. When I'm stuck on a problem or overwhelmed by the pace of everything, an hour on the court brings me back to myself. It sharpens my focus, clears my mind, and reminds me that consistency and patience win in the long run — on the court and off it.
Every trip rewires something in me. I don't travel to check boxes — I travel to sit in a place, feel its texture, hear its sounds, and let it change how I see the world. My camera is always nearby, always capturing scenes.
I travel to relax — not from life, but into it. A new place slows your mind. You notice light differently. You capture scenes you'd never see at home. That's what my camera is for.
Music is the one constant. Whether I'm deep in code at 2am, setting up a gimbal before a shoot, or on a long flight somewhere new — there's always something playing. It sets the mood before my brain catches up.
I listen across many genres. The right song unlocks focus the way nothing else can. Some albums have soundtracked entire projects — tied to a memory, a deadline, a breakthrough moment.
Music is atmosphere. It changes how you feel the room, the shot, the code. I take that seriously.
